Stuffy Class: Art Appreciation

 Hello Blog World. Little Fox here and I would like to welcome our guest instructor.

Class, please say hello to this weeks instructor, me, Little Fox.
Let's dive right into the art world.

I like this bear.   Friendly, has some nice color with the flowers on the left and he's wearing his mask.  Bravo!
This one really "calls" to me.   Astonishing work by this artist.  These foxes do the hard work of greeting patients to the Boise Children's Hospital.  Do you have important work to do?  Best leave it up to an animal.
Idaho elk.  These two are staggeringly stoic.
This next section is for Beanie.  Lot's of painted electrical boxes around Boise. 

This is one of my favorites.  Breathtaking!
The many layers of Boise.  Farming, camping, nature, football. 
Really makes you think.
Each box is a commisioned piece of work.  The artist gets to paint all sides of the box.
In case you forgot where this class took place.

This one is in the Basque District.  Idaho has one of the largest Basque populations outside of Spain.
The final area of art appreciation will be mural appreciation.

I titled this one Home Sweet Home.  Shockingly awesome!
This is a pleasant little fellow.  Bonus points for having a fellow canine brother in the mural. 
This one agrees with me. 

Students.  I hope you enjoyed my stuffy class on art appreciation.  Yes, this does count as your humanities section so if you want your humanities credit please write a 1 page paper on art.

  4. Cool. Thanks for the tour of Boise. Who knew about the Basques... they aren't trying to separate from Idaho are they?
